A 4-Week Puppy Life Skills Course by Paws, Claws & Tails

Puppy School Sunshine Coast is a structured 4-week life-skills training course designed to guide puppies through their early development while helping owners build the knowledge and confidence needed to raise a well-behaved adult dog. Delivered by Paws, Claws & Tails, the program focuses on practical behaviour, emotional development and everyday manners that make living with a puppy calmer and more enjoyable.

This Puppy School is not about fast results or show tricks. It is about teaching puppies how to cope with the real world — and teaching owners how to support that learning in a clear, consistent and positive way.

The course is 4 weeks long.

A 4-Week Course with a Strong Focus on Everyday Behaviour

The course runs over four weekly sessions, allowing puppies to learn gradually and confidently. Each week builds on the last, reinforcing calm behaviour, focus and good habits while avoiding overwhelm.

Training is based on modern, reward-based methods that support learning without fear or force. This approach helps puppies feel safe and motivated, while strengthening the bond between puppy and owner.

Who This Puppy School Is Best Suited To

Puppy School Sunshine Coast is ideal for:

Puppies in their early learning and socialisation stage
Owners wanting guidance through the puppy months
Families aiming to prevent unwanted behaviours early
Puppies that struggle with calmness, focus or confidence
Owners who want practical, easy-to-apply training strategies

A key part of the program is owner education, ensuring families understand how puppies learn and how to guide behaviour long after the course has finished.

What Is Covered During the 4 Weeks

Throughout the four-week course, puppies and owners work through a carefully planned curriculum that includes:

Safe, controlled puppy socialisation
Foundation obedience skills such as sit, down, stay and recall
Loose-lead walking and polite lead manners
Calm behaviour around people, dogs and everyday environments
Confidence building and emotional resilience
Impulse control and settling skills
Handling and grooming preparation, including paws and nails
Understanding puppy behaviour and communication
Gradual reduction of reliance on food rewards
Creating balanced routines for training, rest and play

Each session includes practical exercises, clear explanations and guidance for continuing training at home.

Small Group Classes for Calm, Focused Learning

Classes are intentionally limited to a maximum of five puppies per group. Small group sizes allow for personalised feedback, calmer sessions and better-managed social interactions, helping puppies learn without becoming overstimulated.

Additional Training Support Available

For puppies or owners who need extra support, Paws, Claws & Tails also offers one-on-one puppy training sessions. These can be used alongside Puppy School or as a standalone option for specific goals or quieter learning environments.

Well-Reviewed by Sunshine Coast Puppy Owners

Puppy School Sunshine Coast is supported by strong reviews from local puppy owners who regularly report noticeable improvements in behaviour, confidence and day-to-day manageability.

Owners often highlight the practical advice, calm training approach and the confidence they gain in handling their puppy. Many choose to continue with further training after Puppy School due to the solid foundation established during the four-week program.

A Calm, Confident Start for Puppies and Owners

The 4-week Puppy School Sunshine Coast course by Paws, Claws & Tails is designed to create lasting results, not quick fixes. By focusing on real-world behaviour, emotional development and owner understanding, the program helps puppies grow into relaxed, confident adult dogs — and helps owners enjoy the journey along the way.

Ideal for families who want practical guidance, positive training and long-term success.
